Dead Souls // Nikolai Gogol // 8th Printing 1961 // Vintage Paperback
Signet: 8th Printing, 1961.
"Dead Souls describes the gambits of a quixotic opportunist in provincial Russia who sets out to buy deceased surfs at a low cost from their owners...Gogol's panorama of fraudulence is lasting allegory and aligns him with Swift, Voltaire, Balzac, and Dickens as one of the world's arch-satirists."
Good condition overall with a bit of wear and tear to the covers and spine. Slight slant to the spine. Old stamp marking from a previous owner on the inside of the front cover. Pencil marking on the first page. Yellowing to the pages. Slight bending to the top right-hand corner of book.
